Any rigging activity is potentially very hazardous and complex. The rigging team must, therefore, possess the necessary knowledge and skill to identify the specific safety hazards associated with the rigging job at hand, and adopt appropriate rigging techniques for safe execution of the job. This book deals exhaustively with the scientific principles and safe practices involved in rigging heavy loads. As such, it is a must-read for all frontline managers and engineers who are primarily responsible for the safety of their teams involved in heavy rigging activities. Middle- and senior-level management personnel will also appreciate the book's discussion of the extreme hazards and complexities involved in rigging activities.
